PROFILES IN SERVICE

Seapower’s Profiles in Service feature personal accounts of sea service life.

Members of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and civilian maritime
workforce describe — in their own words — what motivated them to serve,
how they came to do what they do and what their service and respective
professions mean to them.

Seapower would like to thank the participants profiled in this special section
for taking the time to share their stories, and their respective public affairs
offices for helping coordinate the interviews. Conducting the interviews for
this report were Deputy Editor Peter Atkinson, Managing Editor Richard R.
Burgess, Editor in Chief Amy L. Wittman, and Special Correspondents Gidget
Fuentes, Otto Kreisher, Edward Lundquist and John C. Marcario.
